Sabot – That’s an honest question. I purchased about 4 lbs. of Pyrodex RS and a bunch of regular shotgun primers just before the cleaner primers and powders became really popular and now want to burn them on the range experimenting with various loads. I have to admit, I’m a bit spoiled by APP and Kleanbore and the ease of loading that goes along with using these products even after firing 15 or 20 shots. With Pyrodex and regular shotgun primers, it takes a bit of an effort sometimes with the range rod to get the projectile seated after firing 15- 20 shots…and that’s with swabbing with the 50/50 mix spoken so often here.

Anyway, just thought if would be a minor inconvenience to pull the plug (I removed the silly primer holder on my Encore so pulling the plug is easy) and use some inexpensive cleaner to field clean the barrel.

Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts…
